My name is Qi Huan, and I am a dancer in a music troupe.
When I was fourteen, the enemy's troops marched south and captured Liuzhou.
My benefactor swore he would never surrender and died by self-immolation, but was falsely branded a defeated general who had abandoned the city.
I went to the capital to clear his name, but died on the way.
Later, I was reborn at thirteen.
I turned down the young nobleman who loved me, traded the treasures my sisters had saved for me to buy my freedom, and went alone to the governor's residence to tell my benefactor my naive, fervent wish.
"Why have you come to me, miss?"
"To save you, and save the country."
A young girl barely out of childhood, holding a pipa, spoke insolently.
The hall full of Confucian scholars erupted in laughter and disbelief.
I only watched his eyes, dark as pine ink,
from smiling, to calm, to inscrutable.
Later, he took me in as his sworn younger sister, and I called him elder brother. For half our lives, we weathered war together, side by side.
Later still, that absurd conversation the literati had laughed at was recorded in the annals of history, becoming a celebrated tale of the bond between the founding emperor and empress of the Liang Dynasty.
After song and dance today, I ride free across the world.
A sword, a song of love, a dream.
Ambitious, chuunibyou beauty x two-faced ruler in a troubled age
"Read This Before You Start"
1. A protagonist adored by everyone. The heroine has several romance routes and goes all in.
2. Neither the male nor female lead is the other's only romantic option. Their relationship is half love, half mutual interest. The emperor is the male lead, but that does not mean he is the man the heroine loves most in her life.
3. The heroine is the only protagonist in essence.
4. First person, first person, first person!
5. There will be sweet, satisfying moments, but also angst. It may be chuunibyou and passionate, or it may be melodramatic.
6. Not a strong heroine or a female power fantasy, just a little chuunibyou Mary Sue story ^_^
